work in progress

Swing my phallus,

a lame attempt to keep balance on this spinning rock.

Better ruled by short stick then take stock in anything serious.

mind shut move forward

what we can't see certainly can't hear us.

Only an ******* pumps fists

This abashed soul lumps his blame on the short comings of others.

Disdain, a fort built from pillows and covers

tumbles under the absent look given by scorned lovers...

 

I picked a rose

pricked a finger

now my love is left to linger with thoughts of red blood

all because I was too impatient to grasp it

a casket lies in reserve for this paper soul

it doesn't take a fool to see that penciled trees won't grow

so here i stand thumb up head down

gratuity, a hole filled with water and rubish

forms beauty in this mind an oil rainbow doth permiss

 

But thats just it

a shimmer, a sheen

that gleam a thin slice of cold metal

the only rebuttal a reflection, depth shallow

if mirrors speak no lies pull thIs finger out of a hat

devise an angle to cut glass which speaks truth

not crap, or a whacked crack at fact.

A fallacy presented forms false return

allows me repentance from all that i've learned.

 

Solace in dreams?

a world of things

which feints refuge, gives refuse and meddles

muddied the sleep sought to steal from the night

replaced it with fists, your form, and a fight

a plight is where i stand to sit

despite the case i planned to rip

Eyes turn to days distracted thoughts juggled

nights turned to pains, sore throats, bloodied knuckles

 

Upside down

or inside out?

 

... to be continued
